01 / A WORKSPACE, NOT A BLACK BOX

Keep the whole
conversation in view.

Your files, your assistant and your terminal live together. Every step has a place, from the first question to the final diff.

Handle division by zero in calc.py.

JC

I’ll read the function and propose a small change.

READ FILE calc.py
1 def divide(a, b):
2 +  if b == 0:
3 +    raise ValueError("cannot divide by zero")
4   return a / b
!Review the edit before it runs.APPROVAL REQUIRED

An example of the read → review → edit workflow. Changes can be restored from the conversation’s saved snapshots.

01

See what changes.

Read tool calls and file diffs as they arrive. Your editor and conversation share the same workspace.

02

Decide what runs.

Manual mode asks before edits and commands. Use the separate terminal when you want to take the keyboard.

03

Keep a way back.

Conversations retain original file snapshots. Archiving a chat preserves the record and its undo history.

02 / BRING YOUR OWN MODEL

Local when you want.
Connected when you choose.

Connect JolaCode to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Run a model on your machine, or use a hosted provider you trust.

LOCAL INFERENCE

Your chosen local server processes the code on your machine. Model weights are installed separately.

HOSTED INFERENCE

The code and command output included in a request go to your provider. Its terms and data policies apply.

03 / MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEXT IDEA

Up and running.
On your terms.

Version one is a local developer release. Start in your browser or use the macOS desktop shell.
